And "Car 54, Where Are You," because mostly cop shows aren't as naturally funny as real police work. Better yet, make 'em read Wambaugh. You can't make up shit that brilliant and compelling.

The Gattaca series is SUCH an appallingly bad idea. I have no faith whatsoever in Hollywood's ability to make something completely un-atrocious from it. It'll be like making a TV series out of Dark City. Rather than create anything new, Hollywood swallows its own tail, Ourobouros-like, spoor and all, on an annual basis, because it's being run by 27-year-old development execs whose last book read was "The Art of War" and who think reality TV is a pretty keen idea. </rant>

Big points and kudos for reaching out so big and so fast. Demerits for not being utterly clear why i should give him my email address (apparently it's a mailing list) and there are a few bum links here and there, sadly: http://www.change.gov/newsroom/blog/

Still and all - let's hope the rest of the administration is proactive. This team has smelled like a buncha game-changers from the git-go. I'm very, very, very optimistic!

Au contraire, mon frere d'Angleterre - The word Fuck is EXTREMELY funny to us yanks:

The beauty of its wild utility lies in the controlled use of inflection to impart meaning to its plainly simpleminded middle-Ages roots. It's a fine word.

My son is completely and nearly unhealthily obssessed with this game. He's 8. He's such a cool little guy.
